This volume highlights the ways in which women writers negotiate the patriarchal biases embedded in the epistemological and institutional structures of the post-independence nation-state. It discusses works of famous Indian authors like Amrita Pritam, Jyotirmoyee Devi, Mannu Bhandari, Mahasweta Devi, Mridula Garg, Nayantara Sahgal, Indira Goswami, and Alka Saraogi, to name a few, and facilitates a pan-Indian understanding of the concerns taken up by these women writers. In doing so, it shows how ideas travel across regions and contribute towards building a thematic critique of the oppressive structures that breed the unequal relations between the margins and the centre. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, women’s studies, South Asian literature, political sociology, and political studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256878518616,"sku":"9780815396178","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780815396178_77111eb9-43b4-4d98-8a5b-5c1c72d48ecc.jpg?v=1769072412","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/writing-gender-writing-nation-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
